A couple in Kahramanmaraş, Sultan and Şeref Kazcı, have ended a decade-long wait for a child with the miraculous birth of their triplets. After years of seeking treatment at various health centers without success, their dream of parenthood was realized on their very first attempt at IVF.

Our patients applied to us with a 10-year longing for a child and had previously been treated at many centers. After conducting the necessary evaluations, we started IVF treatment and achieved pregnancy on our first attempt.

The couple's challenging journey reached a happy conclusion thanks to the expertise of Dr. Ferah Kazancı, a specialist in Gynecology and Obstetrics at Özel Sular Akademi Hospital. "Our patients applied to us with a 10-year longing for a child and had previously been treated at many centers," Dr. Kazancı shared. "After conducting the necessary evaluations, we started IVF treatment and achieved pregnancy on our first attempt."

During the procedure, two embryos were transferred under normal circumstances. However, one of the embryos spontaneously divided, leading to a trizygotic pregnancy, resulting in triplets. Dr. Kazancı highlighted the rarity and complexity of such an event, noting that while two embryos were transferred, one splitting resulted in the triplets.

Triplets pregnancies inherently carry high risks, and the Kazcı family's case was no exception. The mother developed preeclampsia, commonly known as "pregnancy poisoning," experiencing protein leakage and elevated enzyme levels. "We took all necessary medical precautions and administered treatments for the babies' lung development," stated Dr. Kazancı. The delivery occurred at 33 weeks and 5 days, a successful outcome for a triplet pregnancy. Both mother and babies are reported to be healthy.
